Implementation of an Internet & Paper-Based Uniform Data Set for OMH-funded Activities

The Office of Minority Health is seeking an approval on a revision to a currently approved collection OMB # 0990-0275. The revised data collection activities seeks to further streamline the current questions grantees are asked by reducing the number of questions, and reduce the cost of the data collection system by using a more cost efficient alternative to the Performance Data System, (PDS) web-based portal. The overall reduction in questions will reduce the number of burden hours on grantees. The movement from a customized web-based portal to reporting using commercial, off-the shelf software (i.e., a spreadsheet) significantly reduces the cost of performance data collection and reporting. To collect program management and performance data for all OMH-funded projects, grantee data collection via the Uniform Data Set, UDS (original data collection system) was first approved by OMB on June 7, 2004 (OMB No. 0990-275).
